I am working on wiring issues right now so the clutch has not been tested under a load yet but am 99.9% sure that everything is OK.
The problem:
The release levers were to far down in the center of the clutch assembly and were bottoming out before the second stage could be released and with some assemblies, the first stage just barely. The solution to this was to fabricate three new rod releases, part #10, to the correct length, lifting the 3 center arms 3/8" higher. Also, cleaned up allot of bad Chinese machining, pieces left behind that should have been removed that causing interference and /or friction in the movement of the assembly.
Before the three new rod releases were made, placed the clutch assembly, bolted to the flywheel, in a press and slowly compressed the release arms until they bottomed out and the second stage would not release. After the new rod releases were made, repeated the press procedure and the second stage released long before the release arms bottomed out.
The solution:
Clean up all the metal left behind by poor machining, machined 3 new rod releases, pressed out the bushings from the original rods and pressed them into the new ones.
These measurements may not hold true for someone having the same problem. For me, the critical measurement was between the through out bearing and the top of the adjustment bolts on the release arms, 3/8" in my case.
If you or anyone else wants or needs more information, PLEASE ask.
Again, thanks everyone for your help.
